So your answer is basically "sometime before the end of the season"

I was hoping for a more educated answer.

But I appreciate your effort.

It is advertised in the fox tv guide that the first game to be shown is on Wednesday the 22nd of October and each Wednesday after that. It doesn't say who it is between but the games that night are Crocs vs Spirit and Taipans vs Breakers so it will be one of those games.

Hey i was having a look through the season schedule and if Fox stick to the deal that they will only show 1 game a week on Wednesday nights then that means that we will only see the Cats once this year and that is in rd. 20 against the Spirit, pretty harsh if you are not a season ticket holder. I'm happy that they will be showing something soon but as a Cats fan i'm not very happy. Any other teams get the same deal??

Finally the NBL got something right. I heard a few weeks ago that they were only gonna show 1 game a week, and it was gonna be on a Saturday.
Wednesday is a MUCH better option, at least now I'll be at home to watch it.

I think we will see more coverage next season. Foxtel cut back because of this being the last "NBL" season. Not a good excuse really.

It better. I wanna see the the Brisbane's (and every other team in their own cities) team logo on the side of buses, at train stations and on tv etc. Gotta get in it in everyone's face.
